What Money Can Buy? Inspirational Thoughts about Money and Life

Money of Us

I
am not a person with pretty money. I have a dream that someday I become a rich
person. But how could ordinary people like me will be a rich person someday? Nobody
knows. Life is changing every day. We are getting old and wrinkle. Somebody is
rich today, but he might be poor tomorrow. I just make a wish I became a rich,
old, and wise in the next day. Do I put my expectation so high? I just thought
that have enough money make me feel happy. But the question is “How much money somebody
should have to make him happy?”

Poverty
can turn a good person became bad; romantic husband became violence person; a
good boy became criminal. Luxury of life, consumerist of modern lifestyle, jealousy
and envy about average life, makes human tried to commercializing everything.
To be or not to be (rich)! Modest life is not our lifestyle today, but lavish
one. There is no enough money to all of us. “Earth provides enough to satisfy
every man’s need, but not every man’s greed” Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) ever
said.

US$ 100,000 Dollar Notes. Yes it is real. The Federal Reserve used it to transfer money. They were last printed in 1945 and have since been discontinued. | Source

Poverty of Us: One Dollar a Day

What
is poverty anyway? World Bank said that poverty is people who living below
international poverty line of $1.25 per day. How much are people who live with
one dollar a day? World Bank estimation is around 1.8 billion people. About 70
person of global poverty is in Asia. You maybe shock to know that 900 million
hungry Asian are trying to get on less than US$1 a day. What you can buy with
one dollar for your family?

I
admit that I am not a person with one dollar a day. I am Asian people and have
a family. I work for one company with around US$300 per month. Do you think
this is a big money? I should gratitude about it because poverty is common
picture in my country Indonesia. Many
people only earn 1-2 dollar a day and just enough to buy staple food. I hope
you grateful with your work and life with all you have gave to your family.
